Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 457 Kong Jie: Old Li, you're really not a thing, you didn't take me when you got rich?

Pornography, gambling, and drugs are the fastest-paying businesses at any time.

If Wang Chengzhu was here, he would definitely express such emotion.

Qu Changshou glanced at Li Yunlong who was at the side, and said, "Although the business of the Xia family is far inferior to that of the Qin family, the Tang family, and the Ding family, I think the Xia family's property must be your favorite, Captain Li."

Li Yunlong said righteously, "Commander Qu, please pay attention to your words, our Eighth Route Army has its own discipline, and the purpose of liberating Pingding County is definitely not to loot their homes, but to rescue the people who are suffering here.

Also, my patience is limited, so don't play tricks on me. "

Qu Changshou originally wanted to flatter Li Yunlong, but he didn't expect to hit the horse's hooves. He immediately admitted his mistake with a smirk and said, "Yes, yes, what you taught, Captain Li, is that the current head of the Xia family is named Xia Hongtao, Their Xia family is engaged in the salt and grain business, almost monopolizing half of the salt and grain in Shanxi."

"The price of salt and grain in Shanxi, whether it rises or not, depends almost entirely on the attitude of the Xia family.

Over the years, the Xia family has made a lot of black-hearted money by maliciously raising the price of salt and grain by relying on monopoly, and also killed many poor people.

Therefore, if you, Captain Li, want to punish the local tyrants and evil gentry in Pingding County, the Xia family is of course also on the list. "

After a pause, Qu Changshou changed the subject and continued: "Besides, the Xia family seems to have learned of the news that a war will break out in the southeast of Shanxi in advance, so they stockpiled a large amount of grain and salt in advance.

The irony is that although the Xia family had predicted that fighting would break out in the southeast of Shanxi, they never expected that your Eighth Route Army would be able to capture Pingding County.

In addition, Pingding County is the old nest of the Xia family, so the salt and grain hoarded by the Xia family are basically in Pingding County.

Although I don't know how much salt the Xia family hoarded, Xia Hongtao didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional during the meal two days ago.

In the granary of their Xia family, there are at least a hundred tons of wheat and flour alone.

That's why I said, Captain Li, you must like the Xia family property the most. "

Hearing this, even with Li Yunlong's determination, he couldn't help but be surprised.

There are more than [-] tons of wheat and flour alone!
The most important thing is that these wheat and flour are from inferior merchants, not from decent merchants. Li Yunlong will not feel a little burden to bring them over!
Although Li Yunlong has never been educated, and he doesn't know a lot of characters, but for a profiteer, numbers are definitely what he is most familiar with.

One ton is equal to 1000 kilograms, which is 2000 catties, and 100 tons is 20 catties.

20 catties of wheat, if eaten open, Li Yunlong's new ball can be eaten for at least a month.

It sounds like this number is not much, but for Xinyituan who are often hungry and need to eat chaffy vegetables, 20 catties of wheat is definitely enough for them to eat for three to five months.

Even if Li Yunlong's new regiment has thousands of troops!
And so much wheat, Li Yunlong has never seen it before!
Not only Li Yunlong, but also Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji, and Chen Lian were shocked when they heard this.

Then came ecstasy.

At least 20 catties of wheat, Li Yunlong knew what it meant, and they also knew what it meant.

If you want to ask what the Eighth Route Army lacks the most, if weapons and equipment rank first, then food can definitely rank second!
In addition to lack of training, why the Eighth Route Army was far from being a match for the devil soldiers when they were fighting bayonets? In addition to lack of training, there is another more important reason that they cannot keep up with nutrition.

The so-called one-strength drop ten meetings, even if you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight the bayonet with the devil?

Li Yunlong's thief ship was on the right track this time, even though they were beaten by Li Yunlong several times before.

Even if they knew it well, Li Yunlong said that he would bring them to Pingding County to make a fortune, but in fact he wanted them to take the blame together.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the masses. If Li Yunlong violated the military order and attacked Pingding County alone, he might be severely punished by the brigade commander.

However, if the punishment is apportioned to the four of them, it will undoubtedly be much smaller.

Even after seeing so many trophies, the brigade commander and division commander might not punish them.

Originally, they still had some regrets and entanglements before, whether they should follow Li Yunlong and resist orders when they fell to the ground.

But now, after learning that there is so much money and food in Pingding County, they are willing to accept no matter how severe the punishment is.

Now during the war, the 129th Division is in urgent need of personnel, and several of them are the elite backbone of the 129th Division.

Even if the division commander and brigade commander wanted to punish them, they would definitely wait until the war was accepted.

During this period, they also have enough time to make up for their mistakes.

Besides, they laid down so many large strongholds in one night, and also took down Pingding County. Among them, just one battle achievement is enough to be called unprecedented.

Furthermore, the spoils they seized will not be eaten alone, but will be handed over to the brigade headquarters and part of the division headquarters.

What reason does the brigade commander and division commander have to punish them?
…………

Kong Jie, who was cleaning the battlefield far away in Niangziguan, cried and fainted in the toilet.

Kong Jie: Li Yunlong, I was the first to join forces with you, why the hell didn't you get rich and not take me with you?
Li Yunlong: How far is Niangziguan from Pingping, Jucheng, Donghui, and Pingding? Do you have no idea?Is it because I get rich and don’t take you?With only two muddy legs, can your new second regiment come over?
…………

Then, Qu Changshou introduced the situation and news of other local tyrants and evil gentry in Pingding county. Although these local tyrants and evil gentry were well-off, they were completely incomparable with the four big families of Qin, Tang, Ding, and Xia.

Li Yunlong had no interest at all at this time. After he handed over the task of copying these local tyrants and evil gentry to Zhang Dabiao, Commander of the First Battalion, Shen Quan, Commander of the Second Battalion and others, he personally led his troops to pacify the four major families.

Among them, the first stop is the Qin family!
It must be worth mentioning that originally, Li Yunlong wanted to hand over the task of copying other local tyrants and evil gentry to Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji and Chen Lian.

But the three of Cheng Xiazi are not stupid, on the contrary, they are smarter than the other. Of course, they know that this is Li Yunlong's conspiracy, in order to drive them away, and then eat alone.

If they were not present, wouldn't Li Yunlong have the final say on how much benefits he would get from the hands of the four major families?

Although Li Yunlong's abacus was cracking, they were not fooled.

In the Qin family compound.

The Qin family was all awakened when the new regiment bombarded the east gate. At first, they didn't take it seriously.

After all, the Eighth Route Army had never attacked a county seat.

From their point of view, the Eighth Route Army was at most trying to harass Pingding county town, disgusting the devils stationed in the city, but as the artillery sound became more intense, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

Until the Eighth Route Army entered the city, all the devils defending the city were wiped out, and all the puppet troops surrendered.

This group of Qin family talents finally woke up like a dream, but at this time, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape from the city.

Because the county seat has been controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the city gate is closed, um, the east gate has been blown up and cannot be closed anymore.

In addition, the gates of the major local tyrants and evil gentry were also controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army has not yet entered the homes of the local tyrants and evil gentry, this group of guys who have done all kinds of bad things are already feeling uneasy.

Because they know best what evil they have done.

As for what kind of army the Eighth Route Army is, the people who were deceived in the occupied areas may not be very clear, but they are very clear.

After the Eighth Route Army captures Pingding County, they will definitely settle accounts with them!
